An L-rhamnose-based hydrogelator self-assembles to form nanofibrils, which, in contrast to the properties of monomeric L-rhamnose, suppress the antibody response of mice to phycoerythrin (PE), a fluorescent protein antigen. As the first example of the supramolecular assemblies of a saccharide to suppress immunity, this work illustrates a new approach of immunomodulation.
一种基于L-兰醇糖的
水凝胶剂自组装形成纳米纤维,与单体L-兰醇糖的特性相比,抑制了小鼠对荧光蛋白抗原藻红蛋白(PE)的
抗体反应。作为首个抑制免疫的
糖类超分子组装的例子,这项工作展示了一种新的免疫调节方法。
